Moblin Major General Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) So, I'm using the Ultimate Tutorial v2, and I got to the part to assemble the MAKE HACK.cmd file. Instead of doing what it should and allow me to type in the Command Prompt, it tells me that the files don't exist. Is it operator error? Also, I can't take a screenshot because everytime I try to, it closes the program. If I could get a screenshot off, it would definitely help me explain my problem.

CT075 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 show me your MAKE HACK.cmd file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Here it is. It seems to be a problem with the second to last line in that my computer fails to recognize Core. I fixed the file issue by looking at the file name and realizing I spelled it wrong.

CT075 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 are you running this from the same folder as event assembler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Just now, CT075 said: are you running this from the same folder as event assembler I'm supposed to plug it in the text part of Event Assembler? If that's not what you mean, then yes, it's in Root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) the file MAKE HACK.cmd should be in the same folder as the Event Assembler executable -- there's a file called Core in that folder as well. This is what MAKE HACK.cmd relies on Just kidding! It should be the folder immediately outside of EA Edited June 19, 2017 by CT075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT075 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I was wrong; I misread the file you gave me. Let's break down exactly what this cmd file does:  cd %~dp0 copy "Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones (U).gba" "Kcah Melbme Erif.gba" cd "%~dp0EventAssembler" Core AF E8 "output:%~dp0KcahMelbmeErif.gba" "-input:%~dp0ROMBuildfile.txt" pause  %~dp0 is drive and path of the 0th argument (that is, the batch file itself). cd is "see directory" -- so we're entering the folder that the batch file lives in. copy is self-explanatory cd "%~dp0EventAssembler" moves into the subdirectory "EventAssembler" (spelled exactly like that, spaces and everything) from the path of the batch file Core A FE8 is "run the EA Core executable with arguments A and FE8". If you've been keeping track, A stands for Assemble.  So if your command prompt is not recognizing Core, it's likely that it's either in the wrong folder or your version of EA is outdated (unlikely; EA has included the Core executable for years before make hack was a thing) Edited June 19, 2017 by CT075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I have 11.0.1, is that the latest version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19thsword Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Yes its 11.0.1 i even have the core, but i noticed something odd... Your EventAssembler (Spelled like that for clarity) looks weird, my makehack.cmd file, while more complicated, has Event Assembler(Again for clarity) written on it. Basically your computer is moving to a folder that doesn't exist, as EventAssembler and Event Assembler are 2 different things to computers TL;DR try to respell EventAssembler as Event Assembler and that should maybe fix your problem Edited June 19, 2017 by 19thsword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 So, I tried moving Core from EA to Root, and it said that Core has stopped working when running MAKE HACK. It's almost like the Command prompt can't recognize anything not in the main folder. This has been a prevalent problem ever since I started a few days ago. It really sucks when I can't make it out of a tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19thsword Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Mind taking a peek at your workspace? Just a screenshot of the root and event assembler folders will suffice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moblin Major General Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Okay, so I renamed the EA folder, but now it says I need to clarify the output file. What is that supposed to mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moblin Major General Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 I renamed some things, thinking that was the problem, but it still says that the output file needs to be specified. Is that because the ROM for hacking is still the same as the base FE8 ROM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
